Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A point that is not settled or is under discussion or over which there are opposing views or disagreements






2. Schematic display of the logical relationships among the project schedule activities. drawn from left to right.






3. An entry in the work breakdown structure that can be at any level






4. A change request that has been processed through the integrated change control process and approved






5. Developing a detailed description of the project and product






6. Term used in precedence diagramming method for a logical relationship in current usage. precedence relationship - logical relationship and dependency are interchangeably used






7. Summary level project schedule that identifies the major deliverables and work breakdown structure components and key schedule milestones






8. The smallest unit of time used in scheduling a project. calendar units are generally in hours - days - or weeks - but can also be in quarters years - months - shifts - or even minutes






9. Type of procurement document used to request proposals from prospective sellers of products or services.






10. The latest possible point in time that a schedule activity maybe completed based upon schedule network logic - the completion date and any constraints assigned to the schedule activities without violating a schedule constraint or delaying the project






11. A short unique numeric or text identification assigned to each schedule activity to differentiate that project activity from other project activities. typically unique within any one project schedule network diagram






12. A collection of formal documented procedures that define how project deliverables and documentation will be controlled - changed and approved. in most application areas - the change control system is a subset of the configuration management system






13. An approved plan for a project - plus or minus approved changes. it is compared to actual performance to determine if performance is within acceptable variance thresholds. generally refers to the current baseline - but may refer to the original or so






14. Making relevant information available to project stakeholders






15. Logical relationship where initiation of the work of the successor schedule activity depends upon the initiation of the work of the predecessor schedule activity






16. Slack - Total amount of time that a schedule activity maybe delayed from its early start date without delaying the project finish date or violating a schedule constraint.






17. Processes involved in estimating - budgeting - and controlling costs so that the project can be completed within the approved budget






18. A documented tabulation of schedule activities that shows the activity description - activity identifier - and a sufficiently detailed scope of work description so project team members understand what work is to be performed






19. The process of completing each project procurement






20. Model used in conjunction with manual methods or project management software to perform schedule network analysis to generate the project schedule for use in managing the executing or a project






21. System of practices - techniques - procedures and rules used by those who work in a discipline






22. Project schedule network diagram drawn in such a way that the position and length of the schedule activity represents its duration. bar chart that includes schedule network logic






23. Collect project performance data with respect to a plan - produce performance measures and report and disseminate performance information






24. Analytical technique used to determine basic underlying reason that causes a variance or defect or risk






25. Risk response planning technique associated with threats that seeks to reduce the probability of occurrence or impact of a risk to below an acceptable threshold






26. Analytical procedure in which each potential failure mode in every component of a product is analyzed to determine its effect on the reliability of that component and - by itself or in combination with other possible failure modes - on the reliabilit






27. Person or organization that is actively involved in the project or whose interests may be positively or negatively affected by execution or completion of the project






28. A category of projects that have common components significant in such projects - but are not needed or present in all projects. application areas are usually defined in terms of either the product or the type of customer or industry sector






29. Work breakdown structure component below the control account with known work content but without detailed schedule activities.






30. Any item - internal or external - that is required by a process before that process proceeds






31. Developing an approximation of the monetary resources needed to complete project activities






32. Improving the competencies - team interaction - and the overall team environment to enhance project performance






33. The degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfills requirements






34. Identifying all people or organizations impacted by the project and documenting relevant information regarding their interest - involvement and impact on project success






35. A point in time associated with schedule activity's completion.






36. Calendar of working days or shifts that establishes those dates on which schedule activities are worked and nonworking days that determine those dates on which schedule activities are idle






37. Collection of logically related project activities - usually culminating in the completion of a major deliverable. project phase is a component of the project life cycle

39. Documented direction to perform an activity that can reduce the probability of negative consequences associated with project risks






40. Budgeted cost of work scheduled

42. Temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product - service or result






43. An estimating technique that uses a statistical relationship between historical data and other variables (sq. foot in construction - lines of code in software development) to calculate an estimate for activity parameters such as scope - cost - budget






44. Risk response planning technique for a threat that creates changes to the project management plan that are meant to either eliminate the risk or to protect the project objectives from its impact.






45. Quantifiable deviation - departure or divergence away from a known baseline or expected value






46. Logical relationship where completion of the successor schedule activity is dependent upon the initiation of the predecessor schedule activity
